Hardy Council Meets and Makes Little Ground On Lengthy Agenda
Photo by Tammy Curtis Members of Hardy City Council welcomed new members Feb. 5 to their first meeting of the year. Husband and wife team Dale and Leanne Maddox, far left, and Vicky Rice joined the six member council.
Three new aldermen joined the Hardy City Council at its first meeting of 2013 on Feb. 5, but very little action was taken as a lengthy agenda was discussed in a meeting, that, at times, felt more like a debate session between the mayor and one new council member.
Wet Or Dry – One More TRY!
Friday, July 13th, 4,989 petitions were submitted to the Sharp County Clerk’s office. We wish to thank everyone who was willing to sign the petition. Now the next step is to get those petitions certified and put onto the November 6th ballot. The county clerk’s office has already started the certification process.
There are now two issues.
The first is that we need funds to fight any court battles that are will be fought due to almost certain lawsuits by the opposition. All donations are gratefully accepted. You can either give funds by visiting the SERT website. If possible, please designate the donation as a gift. Otherwise a service charge will decrease the total amount of your donation. You can also call Ruth Reynolds at 870 257-4596 or Stu Freigy at 870-966-4940
Spring River Farmers Market Re-Opening A Success!
Spring River Farmers Market re-opening was a HUGE success. “I estimated nearly a 1000 people attended the event on Fri. & Sat. the 25th. and 26th.” said Mr. Adams. With 30 vendors on site there was something for everyone and these vendors were happy with the response from the community.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Farmers Market. The Farmers Market is a nonprofit group dedicated to providing fresh, locally grown produce to the area. Fresh, delicious baked goods, jams, jellies, farm eggs ,etc. are also available. S.R.F.M. is YOUR F.M. We feel this a great asset to the area and encourage folks to stop by and see what we are all about. F.M. is located @ 2 Tekakwitha Dr. in Cherokee Village. From the 4-lane turn at St. Michaels Church, look for the green and yellow building, near Pioneer Auto Auction.
Earth Day – The Movement Celebrated On April 22
Each year, Earth Day — April 22 — marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Are you doing your part?
The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Protest was the order of the day, but saving the planet was not the cause. War raged in Vietnam, and students nationwide increasingly opposed it.

Our Online Freedom Is At Risk!
Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
